Good morning, CMK! ❤️🧶 We have officially reached DAY 21 of our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge! THREE WEEKS! 🎉🔥 We're getting into the home stretch now, and every qualifying day is bringing us closer to our October 17th celebration. 🔥 MY DAY 20 TOTAL — 115! Yesterday I finished with... 🔥 115 ACTIVITIES! ✅ Another 100+ day in the books! And considering everything happening around here right now, I'll happily take my 115. 😂 Now I need YOUR number: 👇 DAY 20 — _____ activities Whether you had 200, 115, exactly 100 or didn't quite make it, please give me your total anyway so I can keep tracking everyone's progress. ❤️ TODAY'S GRATITUDE — WHAT HAS CRAFTING TAUGHT YOU ABOUT YOURSELF? We've been talking a lot this month about the people and things we're thankful for. Today, I want you to think about something a little different. 🧶 What has crafting taught you about YOU? Maybe you've discovered... ❤️ You're more creative than you thought. 💪 You can figure things out even when they seem impossible at first. 😂 You have considerably LESS patience than you thought—especially when a stitch drops! 🧶 You actually CAN learn new things at any age. 💡 You're willing to experiment instead of always following the rules. ❤️ You love teaching and helping other people. 👏 You're capable of making things you once looked at and thought, “I could NEVER make that!” Or perhaps crafting has taught you something completely different. 🤔 THINK BACK TO WHEN YOU STARTED... There was probably a time when something you do without thinking today seemed incredibly difficult. Your first cast-on. Your first circular knitting machine. Your first panel. Your first complicated pattern. Your first project you were actually brave enough to show somebody. 😂 Sometimes we spend so much time looking at what we still don't know that we forget to look back and see how much we've already learned. And that's something worth being grateful for. ❤️ 👇 SO TODAY I WANT TWO THINGS: 1️⃣ Your Day 20 activity total

My grandson will soon be 5 yo. He has shown little interest in learning to read. So I made the letters in his name using I-cord and wire. So he can hold them in his hand, play find the letter, and other games that are not pencil and paper type activities. This will make the letters more fun. And he will start to look for those letters everywhere, signs, TV ads, books, etc.

Look what arrived today ladies, so excited 💕💕

Remember the basket I was planning to make from I-cord for my daughter? I had to put it off until I met a deadline for the book I am writing. I have met the first deadline and am in a waiting mode. So I have started the bottom of her basket. This the bottom. Taking a break before starting the sides.
